Description: Devoted to the critical analysis of recent Spanish cinema within its cultural contexts. Beginning with the early post-Civil War period, the focus is on film as the visual representation of radical changes and transitions in Spanish society. Considers the translation of other media (literary, theatrical, etc.) into film and the problematic relationship between historical reality and the aesthetics of cinematic representation. Emphasis on films from the democratic transition of the 1970s to today. Includes films by directors such as Erice, Saura, Trueba, Garcia Sanchez, Almodovar, de la Iglesia, and Amenabar. Class taught in Spanish. Prerequisite: Students need to have completed SPAN 200 to enroll.
